Hello all!

Is this a problem? My left (driver's) side door is unable to open. In fact, when I select unlock for all doors, all unlock with the distinctive sound but this door's lock apparently goes back to "locked".

Is there a way to get this door opened? Neither the inside nor outside handle can open the door.

Hello once again,

Well, now the RIGHT rear door is stuck closed like the left one previously mentioned.

I've been reading up on the posts to this problem and I am still confused with the possible problems.

I will try to replace the unit under the dash first since it is easier to access than trying to force either of the rear doors open. Am I looking at this correctly?

Does sound like the timer.I need to re solder the innards on mine because every once in a while it relocks all doors immediatly after I lock.Kinda spooky lolI keep telling my wife its the ghost of the original owner. hehe

Thanks again, Yoda,

I will be home in another week and will start to dig into the problem.
